You're the SWEETEST

Hello friends, I am back with a card...

After a longgg time I am playing with my Lawn Fawn stamps..

I used "Sweetest Flavors" from LF, stamped the image on Neenah card stock and colored using copics. Then did little ink smooshing  onto Tim Holtz watercolor card stock using oxide inks, I used Lawn Fawnatics color inspiration for the colors...

The watercolor card stock is then cut a tiny bit from both the sides and adhered to the center of white card base then strip of green card stock is adhered to both sides. 

The ice-cream cones are adhered using foam squares. The sentiment is stamped on black card stock using VersaMark ink and embossed using Alabaster embossing powder (From Brutus Monroe)

Hope you liked my card. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

STRIKE UP THE BAND

Hello friends,

I am playing along with this weeks MFT Wednesday sketch challenge 410. Here is a look the sketch:

And this is my take on the sketch:

I played with this cute bunnies from MFT BB "Strike Up The Band", images are all stamped on Neenah 80lb solar white cardstock using 'Rich Cocoa' Memento ink and colored using copics, then I cut them all out using scissor. I stamped the music notes in rainbow color using distress oxide inks. The bunnies are all adhered using foam squares. Before adhering the images I stamped the sentiment using 'Tuxedo' Memento ink. 

That's all... Here is a close up:

I hope you liked my card. Thanks a ton for stopping by and you all have a great day!!

Hugs,

You're the Best Chapter of My Life

Hello friends, I have a card to share which is my last minute entry for the MFTWSC407, my loose interpretation of the sketch :D

I have used MFT BB "Our Story" stamp set, which is stamped using Memento black ink and colored using Copics then cut out with my scissor. The kraft cardstock is from Brutus Monroe which is cut to size then used Lawn Fawn "Stitched Borders" die to give it that stitched line look. Then I used VersaMark pigment ink and Alabaster (from Brutus Monroe) embossing powder for the sentiment.

I used some scrap piece of printing paper to create the light (you can use the new MFT stencil which I don't have) and sponged some Oxide ink. Before adhering everything to thee card base I splattered some yellow water color (Gansai Tambi #40). I also added few details using White signo gel pen and black gel pen. Lastly adhered everything using lots of foam squares.

Here is the sketch reference which I used for my card:

That's all from me today!! You all have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!

You are a TREASURE

Hello friends, I have a card to share with you all!!

I played with the current MFTWSC406 sketch challenge, I love sketch challenges and I love MFT so a card using both...

I used MFT BB Party like a Pirate stamp aet, images are all stamped using memento ink on Neenah Solar white cardstock and colored using Copics then cut them all out with scissor. The square panels are cut using scissor and ink blended with distress oxides and did a lot of doodling to resemble like a pirate map.

The images are all adhered using foam squares on the square panels and before adhering the panel to the card base, I sponged some antique linen oxide ink. I really love this little girlie so one more close up of her..

I hope you like my card. Thanks for stopping and have a great day!!

Joy to the World

Hey friends, Wish you all a very happy World Card Making Day 2018...I have a card to share today!!

I played with this cute MFT BB set called "Jingle All The Way", I followed the current MFT sketch MFTWSC405:

Here is my take on the sketch..

This is my FAVORITEEEE Santa everr.... I colored him using Copics on Neenah cardstock and cut out using scissor.  I took MFT English Brick stencil and Memento brown ink to create the brick background, I drew around the pattern with a black gel pen. The background paper is from LF. The sentiment is from Hero Arts "Joy to the World" stamp set which is white heat embossed on Wagon cardstock using Alabaster embossing powder (Both from Brutus Monroe). I applied little fake snow (from DecoArt snow writer) on Santa's hat.
The brick wall background, that cute Santa and the sentiment everything is adhered using foam squares.

That's all from me today, thanks for stopping by!!
Have great day friends!!

You Are MERMAZING

Hello friends, today I have a card to share with you... 

I had colored all these images for MFT superstar contest but later decided not to use them so I had these ready to be made into a card.

These images are from MFT BB Mermazing stamp set, images are all stamped on Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored using copics and then cut out with my scissor. The background is created on a scallop panel (die-cut out of LF dies) and distress oxide inks, the sand at the bottom is hand-cut out of kraft cardstock then added some dots with my copics and white paint. I stamped the corals using Alabaster ink (from Brutus Monroe) and then colored it with white paint. The sentiment is stamped using VersaMark pigment ink and then heat embossed using Alabaster embossing powder (from Brutus Monroe).

For the background I stamped the solid fish images in the same set using different colors of oxide inks to create a rainbow fish pattern and then splattered some blue ink on it.

All the images are adhered using foam squares and the scallop panel itself is adhered using foam squares. I also added some sequins for embellishment.

I have followed the current MFT sketch MFTWSC403..

Thats all from me today!! Hope you like my card.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

You're On My Most Wanted List

Hello there again!!

I have one more card for MFT Superstar Contest and this time for the Coloring Virtuoso challenge...

There is sooooooo many amazing entries, I mean superbly stunning entries that I shouldn't even try for this part but what's wrong in trying out my luck :p he he... 
So here is my card...

I played with this cutie from MFT Saddle Up & Celebrate from Birdie Brown collection, Love love love each and every set from this collection!!

All the images are stamped on Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored using Copics. The background is all ink blended using Memento Luxe inks. I did some free hand cutting on kraft cardstock to create land for the images to stand on, I sponged some brown inks (from Memento) and made some dots using copics to give some texture. I also flicked some paint on the card front to give it some texture...

The panel is then cut out using scissors to replicate as a wanted poster, but a bright colorful wanted poster. Images are all adhered using foam squares and the sentiment is stamped using brown Memento ink. 

Hope you liked my card. It was really fun making this card, will definitely play more with this set. I want to ink the boy as well... :D

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Scream! It's Your Birthday!

Hello there!!!

I have a card to share with you all today..

I wanted to take part in MFT Superstar Contest, so made a card for that. 

This one is for Clean & Simple Genius..

I played with my MFT Monster Sized stamps to create this CAS card.

The little monsters are stamped using MFT Licorice hybrid ink on a piece of watercolor cardstock and I used my Koh-I-Noor watercolors to color them in, since monsters can be in any color I chose to make them bright and happy monsters :D 

The sentiment is then stamped on a blue cardstock using VersaMark pigment ink and heat embossed using Alabaster embossing powder. The water color panel and the sentiment strip is adhered using some foam squares.

Oh and I have used MFTWSC402 !!!

That's all from me today.

Hope you liked my card and thanks for stopping by!!

Have a great day!!

Hugs,

Chitra
